    Would that have been Phil Amato's son or brother, I guess it would be one or the other?

    I always thought the name Titus Bramble was steeped in bathos

    I think you've just made 95% of Lifers reach for a dictionary.

    Those last three don't count Atletico - Lesley is spelt differently, and Francis and Morgan are definitely boy's names!

    Morgan is one of those names, like Dana and Vivian, which can apply to either sex. For example, see this Morgan Fox:

    Not sure tbh. His Dad Tony (was also with Charlton in the 60s) had a hairdressers / barbers down by the Yorkshire Grey in Eltham. Played football with him a few times many moons ago - top bloke.

    Indeed. All I was doing was pointing out that Morgan is not definitely a boy's name.

    The head groundsman at Lord's is Mike Hunt but cricket commentators call him Mick Hunt.
    Seems that they're split on which to use.

    Nathan runs it himself now , took over from his Dad. Nathan went to my school (few years older) but my Dad used to play with Tony so we knew the family . Bumped into Nathan at a party about 8 years ago and someone intoduced me to him saying "this is Nathan , he's a Charlton fan as well" . I then told my mate that Nathan was a bit more than a fan.
